Clean Asunción
"Clean Asunción" is a pilot project to classify garbage. It wants to make the issue more visible and highlight the importance of the issue for both the environment and the quality of life of recyclers. The neighborhood commission councilor, the civil organization "Youth Who Moves", the Urban Services Department of the Municipality and the Avina Foundation organized the project in the Los Laureles neighborhood of Asunción. In a first phase, the houses in the selected area were visited and training sessions were held on how to recycle the trash and the positive impact of doing so. Special trucks were also available for the collection of classified waste. The project started in November of 2016, and is expected to run for three months. Furthermore, it is expected to be replicated in other districts of Asuncion.
